Service design is pushing the boundaries of the design industry, creating new roles and contexts to be explored. The vision of Service Design Fringe Festival is to nudge the world into noticing and advancing the discipline.

Critical discourse on service design

SDFF creates a platform to exchange ideas, tools and effective practices. It issupported by our guardians of service design values such as Lauren Currie and Pip Jamieson.

Help to increase representation

Showing different ways into the service design industry, opening it up to people from diverse backgrounds and inviting non-service designers who are doing that some people might call service design.

Address employment challenges

Helping aspiring talents from different backgrounds and experience to get recognition and access to the industry.
